My invention relates to that kind of friction matches which are known in the trades-s safety-matches, which do not ignite by ordinary friction, but only by friction on a'tabletprepared with a composition expressly for that purpose; and the invention consists of. such a safety-match made of slips prepared by being soaked in hot paraffine and scorched at' their ends, and tipped with an odorless nonpoisouous composition, and the combination therewith of a composition tablet, of the ingredients and in the proportions as horeiin after "specified and described The match composition made of potassium chlorate, 1.60 part, b weight, sulphide of antimony, 0.30 part, by weight; scsquioxide of. iron, 0.35 part, by weight; binoxide of inangnnese, 0.35 part-,by weight; chromate of potassium, 0.05 part, by weight; powdered glass, 0.05 part, by'weight. These in gredients, being thoronghly'mixed in a powdered state, are made into a paste. by the addition of a suflieient quantity of mucilage, which is made of -(1r gelatine, 1.00 gram; boiling water, .25 centimeter.

The matehsslips are prepared for the composition by soaking them in hot parafiine to ahoutone' fourth of-their length from the ends to-be tipped, and slightly scorching the very extremity of those ends, to enable the compost tion to seize upon the wood and firmly adhere thereto when dry; but this process I do not claim as new. The prepared ends of the sl ps are dippedin the composition, a small quantity of which adheres to the ends, and is allowed to dry in the light, which, by means of the chromate of potassihm, converts the soluble gelatine into insoluble gelatine, by which the matches are effectually protected from the eii'ects of moisture.

The friction-tablet is coated with a composition made .of amorphous phosphorus, 1.00

gram; sulphide of antimony, 0.02 grainy powdered glass, 0.25 gram, which ingredientsare made into apaint by thoroughly grinding and mixing them with a sufficient quantity of- -the mucilage hereinbefore described.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1 1. The friction-match composition made of potassium chlorate, sulphide ot antimony, scsquioxide of iron, binoxide of manganese,-

ehromat'e of potassium, powdered glass, andmucilage, in the proportions and manner substantially as specified.

2. The friction-match made of potassium chlorate, sulphide of antimony, sesquioxide of iron, binoxide of manganese, chromate of potassium, powdered glass, and mucilage, in combination with the friction-tablet made of amorphous phosphorus, sulphide of antimony, powdered glass, and mucilage, in the proportions and in the manner substantially as specified and described.

In testimony that 1 claim the foregoing as my own invention I aflix my signatu ein presence of two witnesses.
